I've seen 3 different mods that all have bits and pieces of what I'd like to see on a Hotkey Window. So, with a little Paintshop Pro work I managed to cut and paste together what my ideal Hotkey window would contain.



To the left of the Hotkeys is simply the player stats and resists.

There are two separate things on the right side of the hotkeys. By clicking the INV button at the top you would get the 8 invnetory slots plus the primary and secondary weapon slots at the bottom

By clicking the CLK button at the top you would get a bank of "right-clickies" that included both ears, wrists, arms, legs, chest, and neck, along with the Range and Ammo slots at the bottom.

I messed around with the code from the three different mods trying to paste it all together for about a week and I got nowhere. If there is ANYONE out there that knows how this could be done, you would be my hero. Thanks!

The right side of that sample CAN NOT be done...

The UI can not create a new button to switch banks between INV and CLK as you want. That could be two pages in the Hotkeys but as you made it, it is not possible.

This could be done if you did it as a tabbed page. But I believe you would have to do the whole window as a tab each. Not sure if it is possible to just define a section of a window to be the tabbed section. If you had to make the whole window tabbed you would have to duplicate the items that were on both pages. But to do that you would have to give them separate names so as not to create duplication errors. But this could be done more or less.

This should be 100% possible.. It will just take a 2 or 3 custom animations and 2 or 3 custom window definitions.... I'll take a crack at it

Yep.. 100% possible

I'm gonna take a few screen shots and upload it to the HotKeys Sections!!

Hope you like it..

edit:
It's named: HotButtonStatsInvClickies.zip

Talyns...

Can't wait to see what you put together! You probably found it a bit familiar, since it was one of your MODs that I lifted the Stat's portion from.

I do know for a fact that the right side is possible. I've seen it done in Vert's latest Cannibus MOD, which even comes with a sweet program called CCake so you can customize exactly what clickies you want in each slot.

Thanks a TON for taking the time to work it up, and I can't wait to download it. You may be my new Hero!

The hotbutton window I made for my UI is very similar to what you are wanting. mine doesn't have the player stats on it, but it gives full inventory access through the use of tab boxes.

Here is a picture of it with each of the tab boxes open. Everything is oversized for higher res(1280x1024 or higher).
I am including a link so you can download it and see how it works, and mod it yourself, or someone else mod it, to do what you want. I'm a bit involved with my own project atm. =)

It works with the default Animations.xml and windows_pieces graphics files, and probably with most custom ones, but the buttons and inventory slots will look different depending on the windows_pieces0x.tga files you use.

I got the idea for this from the Vertmod, but I wanted it to work with the default equianimations.xml file, wich the one from Vertmod does not do. you can put whatever buttons you want on the tab icons, but they will change position slightly, so I just threw checkboxes on them. Vert did some fancy stuff with custom graphics and such to get around the tab buttons changing position.
For my taste in my UI, "works with default" >>>> all eye candy.

I just remembered my older version of it works with the default files also. This one was made for 1024x768 resolution so it doesn't have everything oversized. It has arrow buttons for tab icons instead of checkboxes like my newer one has. Unlike my new one, this one has a custom frame template in it for the blank tab box borders.

I thought without the pages and tabs showing it looks cool..
And, the stats, hotkeys, and Inv/Clickies made it unique..

I already did half of it, like you said. So, adding the tabpages didn't take too long...

In other words, no problem.. Happy to do that for ya

Talyns it's official - you are my new Hero!

It's perfect! The MOD works exactly like I envisioned it. It was the last piece I was needing to make my UI look and work exactly how I want it to - thank you SO much!

Great Work!

I too am looking for something similar. I'd like to get tabs with Bags and 4 slots on 1 Tab, then a Tab with Pet Window, then finally a Tab with MP3 player in it. Don't care how. Though adding buttons as opposed to Tabs would be quite nice.

All that on the hot keys isn't possibe..

You can't move entire windows to a tab.. The buttons on the pet and mp3 windows are hardcoded to those windows.. I would be able to move information (Pet Health Gauge, Song Name, Song time, etc) from those windows and that's about it.. Can't actually move the buttons.

Sorry

Horaxe

How bout one with 2 Tabs, enough room for 10 Inventory Slots in each. 8 Bags in first tab and Primary, Secondary, Ranged Ammo. Then ten clickies in the second tab. Don't need anything else. Just something relatively compact with lots of clicky space. Also, don't need stats on it at all. I have all of those in my Target Window ^_^

Talyns

I did one with just Hotkeys and Inv/Clickies:

Is that what you're looking for?

CCake works with them now so you can make the inv/clickies whatever you want..
